The emperor looked at the globe, his thoughts drifting far away with Shen Meimei's words. He looked up at the sky, and sure enough, there were no clouds.

"Okay, Mei'er, you are right! Since Concubine Xi came in person to ask for a daughter-in-law, I have no choice but to grant her wish!" After the emperor said this, his mood suddenly became brighter.

The emperor has been in a good mood these days and has been studying pinyin and Chinese characters with Shen Meimei all day long.

The ancient emperor had a very high IQ. It only took him half a month to learn all these pinyin and Chinese characters, and he became very proficient in them.

Shen Meimei set up a literacy group in the harem, and Concubine Duan, Concubine Xin, Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Ning each led a group of concubines to study. They taught the concubines first, and then studied in the palace as a unit.

Everyone in the harem could learn, and all the concubines in the harem had no time to fight in the palace, and they all immersed themselves in books to study. Especially Ningpin, she used to be poor and an orphan. Except for the few years when she worked as an animal trainer in the Old Summer Palace and was exposed to some words, she had never read any books at all.

In order to satisfy the concubines' enthusiasm for learning, Shen Meimei forced Jinxi to buy some novels and literary books outside the palace and bring them into the palace.

On this day, everyone gathered in Tangli Palace. Concubine Ning smiled and took out her own storybook and read it to everyone.

She actually adapted the Ming Dynasty novel Journey to the West into a vernacular novel called Tang Sanzang and the Queen of the Kingdom of Women. The language was beautiful and the story flowed smoothly. She led the palace maids of Chunxi Hall to rehearse and performed it for the concubines in Tangli Palace.

Shen Meimei was fascinated by the scene. She was indeed a good director and screenwriter. The stage effects were amazing!

After some days, the emperor's health gradually improved and his mood naturally became cheerful.

The application of these Arabic numerals greatly reduced the workload of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the efficiency of all work from design to counting was greatly improved.

In the Yangxin Palace, Zhang Tingyu, Li Wei and others bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, you are so wise! With these Arabic numerals, our Ministry of Revenue's purchase and sales will be much more convenient. I have also conducted an inventory of the Ministry of Revenue. Now that the treasury is full of silver, we are not afraid even if there is a war!"

"Pooh...Pooh..." Zhang Tingyu pouted at the ground several times before continuing:

"Sir Li, the country has finally settled down with great difficulty. What are you talking about? Your Majesty, since the promotion of simplified Chinese characters, they have been welcomed by scholars from all over the country. Except for some old people who don't want to learn it because they think the simplified characters lack the beauty of Chinese characters, the promotion of others has been very smooth."

Shen Meimei felt strange. In the past month, she had done her best to complete the system task. How come she completed the task so well, but the system dingdong never contacted her again?

Could it be that I violated the system regulations last time and there is some kind of punishment that I don’t know about?

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Zhang Tingyu outside continue:

"Your Majesty, these inventions are so great. Should we give the Imperial Concubine a signature? This will also allow the world to know about the Imperial Concubine's achievements!"

When Shen Meimei heard that she was going to sign her name, she quickly came out from behind the screen and said, "Master Zhang, these inventions are definitely not the work of this palace alone. They are the collective creation of everyone under the leadership of the emperor. You must not sign your name!"

Zhang Tingyu bowed and said, "I greet Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine. May Your Majesty be blessed!"

"No need to formality!" Shen Meimei walked to the emperor with a smile and bowed. The emperor motioned for her to stand next to him.
